HPQ Printing Metrics May 2007

HP (NYSE HPQ) announced its Second Quarter '07 earnings after the bell yesterday so I'm following up with a tradition I started a few announcements back, logging the stated details provided about the printer business. This time, the numbers were less plentiful, as can be seen from the table, and some of the growth rates were less spectacular than in periods past, no doubt partly due to that bane of financial types, the "difficult compare" when the previous corresponding period (in this case Q2FY2006) was a blow-out.
